Denmark’s Dirty Industry Not Calculated in Carbon Footprint

[efoods]Shakespeare’s Marcellus was right. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

In this hotbed of homogeneity, where global warming is a sacred assumption for the faithful, 15,000 people will come together from 192 countries to pray for two weeks over what can be done to save the Earth from certain doom. Few places are better suited to handle the throngs of unquestioning believers who will journey from around the globe.

Dissent is not tolerated, and diversity — in any form other than biodiversity — is not welcome here.

But it turns out that Denmark’s big claim to greenery isn’t quite so impressive when you find out that they do not include one of their biggest and dirtiest industries — shipping — in calculating their annual carbon footprint.
